After standing in front of everyone you know in what would otherwise be considered a ridiculously big white gown, there is a bombardment of suprises, wake up calls, and head scratching.

Twins

The votes are in. Amy and Reese are Looksies but NOT Twinners.Sorry, A.

How about these sweet twin pictures?

This is me and my celebrity twin, the sassy and no nonsense Maggie Gyllenhaal.

And how about this picture of my husband and my FBIL, Jake. Yes, that would be Fake Brother-In-Law. They think because they were born seven days apart in 1972 that they are twins separated by their parents. But then again, Herb also implied last night at Bible Study that one of them is probably the Messiah since they are both 33 years old.

it is strange to watch maggie's movies because it is like watching myself. we are even more similar when you see her in motion b/c we share manorisms and move the same way. she typically plays characters that are not like me at all though. so that is even stranger to see myself doing things that myself would never do.

Here's the latest on the twin theory.1. The original theory is that "mom" made the journey from SoCal to Chicago in the seven days between our birthdays. This means she gave birth to Jake in SoCal, and then carried me to Chicago in her miraclous womb, only to give birth to me seven days later. One aspect we haven't explored is whether my birth was a surprise to her! I've always thought I was special.

2. The second theory is that "mom" is actaully a test tube and that our twin split-up took place roughly in October 1971. Sure, this one is more "scientifically" plausible, but I think the jury is still out on science... is it here to stay or just a passing fancy.
